COD Rules
XVIII. Policy Questions and Revisions
A. Consistent with Faculty Rules and Regulations, section 1.73, the COD resolves cases within the framework of Institute policies. Revisions to such policies are properly the concern not of the COD, but of the office or committee that is responsible for considering changes in the policy.
B. In connection with its consideration of a particular case, the COD may seek an interpretation or clarification of an Institute policy relevant to that case through the Faculty Policy Committee, other Institute offices, or relevant Institute committees.
C. Except when an amendment would conflict with MIT Policies and Procedures or the Rules and Regulations of the Faculty, the COD, after consultation with the Faculty Policy Committee, may from time to time amend these rules. One or both Vice Chancellors and the Office of the General Counsel must be consulted on and agree with substantive amendments or amendments that are required to comply with the law or regulations. When amendments are required to comply with the law or regulations, or when minor, non-substantive changes are made (i.e., changes to titles/names/offices) the COD may make changes to the rules and inform FPC.
